I've been having this pain on my left waist that comes and goes. It's not exactly constant, but it flares up if I sit or stand for too long. The pain does disappear after about 5 to 10 minutes. I'm just not sure what steps I should take next or who I should see about this. Any advice?

I think I might have a penile skin bridge issue based on what I read online my skin doesn't retract properly and when it does go back past the glans it hurts a lot is there any way to fix this without surgery

If you're experiencing phimosis and want to avoid surgery, there are several non-surgical options you can explore. These include topical steroid creams, stretching exercises, good hygiene practices, and in some cases, balloon dilation.

I noticed that the back side of the top of my penis got swollen after I masturbated last night. It's kind of worrying me. What could be going on, and what should I do about this?

Could be due to irritation or inflammation. I recommend using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the swelling and discomfort. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice a day for about a week. If the swelling does not improve or if you experience any pain, fever, or discharge, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
